Do not use the dishwasher in any way not covered in this manual or for any purpose other than those explained in the fol- lowing pages. Severe product damage and/or injury could result from the use of unqualified service techni- cians or non-original replacement parts. All repairs must be performed by a qualified service technician using only original equipment factory replacement parts. Electrical shock or fire could result if the electrical supply for the dishwasher covered in this manual is incorrectly installed or if the dishwasher has been improperly grounded. Do not use the dishwasher covered in this manual unless you are certain the electrical supply has been correctly installed and the dishwasher has been properly grounded. Never use harsh chemicals to clean your dishwasher. Some chloride-containing products can damage your dishwasher and may present health hazards! .NOTICE Never use steam cleaning products to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer will not be responsible for the possible damages or consequences. It is highly recommended for the end user to become familiar with the procedure to shut off the incoming water supply and the procedure to shut off the incoming power supply. See the Installation Instructions or contact your installer for more information. To avoid possible dishwasher damage, do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, scour- ing pads (metal or plastic), or abrasive cloths/paper towels to clean your dishwasher’s exte- rior door panel. Your dishwasher's exterior door panel can be damaged by doing so. NSF/ANSI 184 Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establish- ments.3 p. 252

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical

shock, or serious injury, observe the following: 1 This dishwasher is provided with Installation Instructions and this Use and Care Manual (operating instructions). Read and understand all instructions before using the dish- washer. 2 This appliance must be grounded to a metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equip- ment grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher. See the Installation Instructions included with this dishwasher for more information on electrical requirements. 3 Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the washing of household dish- ware and kitchenware rated as dishwasher safe. 4 Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children. 5 When loading items to be washed:

• Locate sharp items so they are not likely to damage the door seal.

• Load knives and other sharp utensils with their HANDLES UP to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recom- mendations.

• Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in place.

• Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks. 6 Do not abuse, sit or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher. 7 To reduce risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher. 8 When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is the responsibility of the parents/legal guardians to ensure the children are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons. 9 Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas is explosive. Before using a dish- washer that is connected to a hot water system that has been unused for two weeks or longer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is explosive, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time. 10 Remove the dishwasher door to the washing compartment when removing an old dish- washer for service or discarding. 11 To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher. 12 Protect your dishwasher from the elements. Protect against freezing to avoid possible damage to the fill valve. Damage caused by freezing is not covered by the warranty.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric cur- rent. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor.

• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded. State of California Proposition 65 Warnings:

For best results, use fresh powdered dish- washing detergent or detergent tabs

NOTICE To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dishwashing products in your dishwasher. To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use too much detergent if your water is soft. Using too much detergent with soft water may cause etching in glassware. The dishwasher uses less water than most, therefore, less detergent is required. With soft water, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure deter- gent (Figure 1) to 1 tablespoon (15 ml) and 2 tablespoons (25 ml). 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of detergent will completely fill the detergent dis- penser. NOTE: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15 ml (1 tbsp) of detergent. Increase the amount if necessary to the least amount required to get your kitchenware clean. Use the measuring lines in the detergent dispenser cup as a guide to measure the amount of detergent recommended in Table 1.

NOTE: The dishwasher indicates low rinse aid by turning on the “Refill Rinse Aid” LED in the display. If this light is on, you need to refill the rinse aid dispenser by following the directions below. Adding Rinse Aid NOTICE To avoid oversudsing or clogging, do not overfill the rinse aid dispenser. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth. 1 Add liquid rinse aid to the dispenser until it is full (see Figure 4). Do not overfill. 2 Close the lid. Lid must be fully closed until it clicks in order to seal.

Wipe up any excess rinse aid that may have puddled when the dis- penser reservoir is full. The indicator light will go out a few moments after the dishwasher door is shut. See page 16 for instructions on how to adjust the amount of rinse aid dispensed. Figure 4 Figure 2 Figure 38 Dishware Materials NOTE: Before using your dishwasher for the first time, check the information in this section. Some items are not dishwasher safe and should be hand washed; others require special loading. Recommended: Aluminum: Colored anodized aluminum may fade over time. Minerals in your water may cause the aluminum to darken or spot. This can usually be removed with a soap-filled steel wool pad. China, Crystal, Stoneware: Some hand-painted utensils may discolor, fade or spot. Hand wash these utensils. Position fragile glassware so that it will not fall over or come in contact with other utensils during the wash cycle. Glass: Milk glasses may discolor or become yellow. Non-stick Coatings: Apply a light coating of vegetable oil to non-stick surfaces after drying. Plastics: Make sure the plasticware is dishwasher safe. Stainless Steel, Sterling Silver and Silver Plates: Load these so they do not come in contact with other metals. Not Recommended: Acrylic: Crazing, small cracks throughout the acrylic, may occur. Adhesive-Joined Pieces: Adhesives that join materials such as plastic, wood, bone, steel, cop- per, tin, etc. may loosen. Bone-Handled Utensils: Handles may separate. Iron: Iron will rust. Hand wash and dry immediately. Non-Dishware Items: Your dishwasher is intended for use in cleaning ONLY standard house- hold dishware and kitchenware. Pewter, Brass, Bronze: These items will tarnish. Hand wash and dry immediately. Tin: Tin will stain. Hand wash and dry immediately. Wood: Wooden bowls, wooden utensils and utensils with wooden handles can crack, warp and lose their finish.9 Loading the Dishwasher Do not pre-wash items with loosely attached soiling. Remove all food particles, bones, toothpicks and excessive grease. Items having burned-on, baked-on or starchy soils may require some pretreatment. Refer to the Dishware Materials section for more information about dishware suitability. Load only dishwasher safe items into the dishwasher. Load dishes in the dishwasher racks so the insides of bowls, pots and pans are facing the spray arms as shown. Avoid nesting and contact points between dishes. Separate items of dissimilar metals. Use care to not block movement of the spray arms. WARNING The sharp points and edges of knives and other sharp utensils can cause serious injuries. Load knives and other sharp utensils with edges down. Do not allow children to handle or play near knives and sharp utensils. NOTICE To avoid dishwasher damage, do not load the dishwasher with paper products, plastic bags, packing materials or anything other than normal, dishwasher safe dishware and kitchenware. Loading the Upper Rack Ensure items do not protrude through the bottom of the racks and block the spray arms. NOTE: When pushing the upper rack into the dishwasher, push it until it stops against the back of the tub so the upper rack spray arm connects to the water supply at the back of the tub. Do not push racks in using the door. Loading the Lower Rack Place large items in the lower rack. Load pots, pans and bowls upside down. Do not block vent with tall baking sheets. Load these items on the right side of the dishwasher. Unloading the Dishwasher When unloading the dishwasher, it is recommended to unload the lower rack first. Next, unload the sil- verware basket followed by the upper rack. This prevents water from dripping down onto dishware. NOTE: Dishes are more likely to chip when unloading before cooling.10 Lower Rack Additional Loading Pattern Upper Rack Upper Rack Suggested Loading Pattern Lower Rack11 Loading the Silverware Basket Place knives and sharp utensils with their HANDLES UP and forks and spoons with their handles down. If large or oddly-shaped items are loaded in the silverware basket, be sure they do not nest together. WARNING The sharp points and edges of knives and other sharp utensils can cause serious injury. Load knives and other sharp utensils with edges down. Do not allow children to handle or play near knives and sharp utensils. The Double-Flex™ Silverware Basket (model dependent) This basket splits along its length, resulting in two halves that may be placed in a variety of positions in the lower rack, greatly increasing the lower rack’s loading versatility. The basket snaps together either back to back or end to end as shown. To split the silverware basket: Grasp the basket and slide the two halves in opposite directions as shown at right and then pull the two halves apart. Loading pattern for Double-Flex™ Silverware Basket The Long Silverware Basket (model dependent) The long silverware basket fits along the side of the lower rack. Loading pattern for Long Silverware Basket The basket lid may also be snapped to the handle in order to leave the basket open.

Rack Features Flip Tines The upper rack consists of two tines that can be folded down depending on what you may need to load in the rack. To fold down, grasp the folding tine and release from notch. Push folding tine downward to desired position as shown in Figure 5. RackMatic® Adjustable Upper Rack The upper rack can be raised or lowered to accommodate large items in either rack (see Figure 6). NOTE: Before pushing the upper rack into the dishwasher, ensure the rack height is the same on both sides. If the height is not the same on both sides, the dishwasher door will not shut and the upper rack spray arm will not connect to the water inlet. To lower the upper rack: 1 Pull the upper rack out of the dishwasher until it stops. 2 Press the RackMatic® adjustable upper rack handles inward and let the rack drop gently. To raise the upper rack: 1 Pull the upper rack out of the dishwasher until it stops. 2 Grasp the top of the rack above the RackMatic® handles and pull it upward until the handles lock the rack into position (you do not need to press the handles in order to raise the rack). Plastic Item Clips Light-weight plastic accessories (cups, lids, etc.) can be held securely by the plastic item clips (see Figure 7). Cup Shelves The shelf and the space underneath can be used for cups or for larger serv- ing utensils (see Figure 8). Extra Tall Item Sprinkler (model dependent) If an item is too tall to be placed in the lower rack even with the upper rack in the raised position, remove the empty upper rack by pulling it out of the dish- washer until it stops. Pull the front of the rack upward and outward until the rollers are completely free of the roller guides. Set the upper rack aside and push the roller guides back into the dishwasher. Insert the Extra Tall Item Sprinkler into the upper rack spray outlet and turn the sprinkler clockwise to lock into position. See Figure 9. NOTE: Keep the vent on the tub’s left side clear by placing tall items such as plastic cutting boards and tall baking sheets on the lower rack’s right side or center. NOTICE To avoid dishwasher damage, do not reinstall the upper rack without removing the Extra Tall Item Sprinkler. Figure 5 Figure 6

Figure 8 Figure 7 Figure 913 Dishwasher Cycles and Options Wash Cycles NOTE: In order to save energy, itis recommended to set the “Auto Power Off” feature to “P:01” (see manual section titled “Auto Power Off ”). Heavy: Best for cleaning items with baked-on food or grease. These dishes would normally require soaking. Auto: This is the most flexible cycle. With our most complex soil sensing capability, this cycle is perfect for use with mixed loads of dishware with varying amounts of food soil. Normal: The Normal cycle is recommended for daily, regular, or typical use to completely wash a full load of nor- mally soiled dishes. In order to obtain optimal performance with minimum energy consumption, it is recommended to disable all available options and settings, except “Auto Power Off” as noted at the start of this section. NOTE 1: See footnote for additional energy test setup instructions. Speed60®*: Cleans freshly soiled dishes with easy to remove soils. This cycle reduces cycle time while still including drying. Half Load*: Can reduce water consumption when washing small, lightly soiled loads that fill approximately half of the dishwasher’s capacity. Clean30*: For lightly soiled items with easy to remove food soils. Reduces overall wash time. Rinse*: If you need to pre-rinse dishes to avoid odors, let the dishwasher do the work for you! Place unrinsed dishes inside the dishwasher and select the “Rinse” cycle. Uses less water than hand rinsing and very low energy. Wash Cycle Options Delay Start: Allows you to delay the start time of your dishwasher in one hour increments up to 24 hours. Half Load*: Can reduce water consumption when washing small, lightly soiled loads that fill approximately half of the dishwasher’s capacity. Sanitize*: Available only in the Heavy, Auto and Normal cycles. The sanitize LED will light when sanitation requirements are met. The technical sanitation measures may also improve the drying results. NOTE: The dishwasher automatically defaults to Auto Wash when turned off and back on. If you used the sanitize option in your last cycle, the dishwasher will default to Auto Wash with the Sanitize option selected when you turn it on. ExtraDry*: Used in combination with a wash cycle, the Extra Dry option raises the temperature and extends the drying time to further enhance drying results and provides a brilliant shine. ExtraScrub*: This option increases pressure and temperature in the lower rack for intensive cleaning. ExtraShine®*: Used in combination with a wash cycle (except Rinse),the ExtraShine® option helps dishes and glassware come out exceptionally clean with perfect shine by raising the temperature and extending the drying time. Delicate*: Available only in the Heavy, Auto, and Normal cycles. This option’s lower temperature will reduce the risk of cloudy glasses.

• model dependent NOTE 1: The Energy Guide label was based on the Normal or Regular soil sensing cycle as follows: The unit was tested without any Rinse Aid (liquid) in the Rinse Aid chamber. A single dose of detergent was inserted into the Detergent Dispenser, with no detergent being used in the prewash. The unit was not subjected to truncated testing per the definitions in the test procedure. We recommend that dish loads such as the one in the energy certification test have the rack position set in the highest position.14 Wash Cycle Information The cycle times in this Use and Care Manual are based on normal soil loads and 120°F incoming water and will vary based on your actual conditions.

Care and Maintenance A regular inspection and maintenance of your machine will help to prevent faults. This saves time and prevents possible future problems. Overall condition of the machine Never use a steam cleaner to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer is not responsible for any consequential damage. Regularly wipe the front of the appliance with a damp cloth - water and a small amount of liquid soap is adequate. Do not use sponges with a rough surface or abrasive detergents, as these could scratch the surfaces. Stainless steel appliances: To prevent corrosion, avoid using sponge cloths or chlorine based cleaners. Use a stainless steel polish to seal and protect the surface. Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel regularly to remove debris that may collect from normal loading. If spots begin to appear on the stainless steel, make sure the rinse agent is full and functioning properly. Use caution when removing parts for cleaning as some debris may be sharp. WARNING19 Filters The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat fine filter and a micro filter. The filters keep large for- eign objects in the rinsing water away from the pump. Foreign objects may occasionally block the fil- ters. Check the filters for residue by:

• Unscrew the filter cylinder as illustrated in Figures 9-10 and take out the filter system.

• Remove any residue and clean filters under running water.

• Reinstall filter system in reverse sequence and ensure that the arrow marks are facing each other after locking it into place. Spray Arms Check spray arms for grease and limescale deposits. If you find such deposits:

• Fill detergent dispenser with detergent and start the appliance without utensils in the cycle with the highest rinsing temperature (see wash cycle information table).

• Clean the appliance with detergents/appliance cleaners which are particularly suitable for use with dishwashers.

• Unscrew the spray arms and inspect as shown in Figure 11. Figure 9 Figure 10 Figure 11

.Drain Pump Large food remnants in the rinsing water not retained by the filters may block the drain pump. The rins- ing water does not get pumped out and covers the filters. In this case:

• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

• Using a spoon, pry off the pump cover (see Figures 12-13) until it clicks, then grip the cover and pull upward until it resists and then pull forward.

• Check inner compartment and remove any foreign objects.

• Place cover in the original position, press down and engage.

• Reinstall filters. NOTICE Preparing your Dishwasher for Vacation Before leaving for vacation during warmer weather, besides turning off the main valve, also turn off wa- ter supply at the nearest point to the dishwasher.

The warranties stated herein apply only to the first purchaser of the Product and are not transferable.

• Please make sure to return your registration card; while not necessary to effectuate warranty coverage, it is the best way for BSH to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice or product recall. How Long the Warranty Lasts: BSH warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of three hun- dred sixty five (365) days from the date of purchase. The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of purchase, and shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason whatsoever. This Product is also warranted to be free from cosmetic defects in material and workmanship (such as scratches of stainless steel, paint/porcelain blemishes, chips, dents, or other damage to the finish) of the Product, for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of purchase or closing date for new construction. This cosmetic warranty excludes slight color varia- tions due to inherent differences in painted and porcelain parts, as well as differences caused by kitchen lighting, product location, or other similar factors. This cosmetic warranty specifically excludes any display, floor, “As Is”, or “B” stock appliances. Labor and shipping costs are included in this basic coverage. Extended Limited Warranty: BSH also provides these additional limited warranties:

• 5 Year Limited Warranty on Electronics: BSH will repair or replace any BSH microprocessor or printed circuit board if it proves to be defec- tive in materials or workmanship (excludes labor charges).

• 5 Year Limited Warranty on Dish Racks: BSH will replace the upper or lower dish rack (excluding rack components), if the rack proves defec- tive in materials or workmanship (excludes labor charges).

• Lifetime Warranty against Stainless Steel Rust Through: BSH will replace your dishwasher with the same model or a current model that is substantially equivalent or better in functionality, if the inner liner should rust through (excludes labor charges).

• BSH will replace the stainless steel door if the door should rust through (excludes labor charges). The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of purchase, and shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason whatsoever. Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Remedy: During this warranty period, BSH or one of its authorized service providers will repair your Product with- out charge to you (subject to certain limitations stated herein) if your Product proves to have been manufactured with a defect in materials or work- manship. If reasonable attempts to repair the Product have been made without success, then BSH will replace your Product (upgraded models may be available to you, in the sole discretion of BSH, for an additional charge). All removed parts and components shall become the property of BSH at its sole option. All replaced and/or repaired parts shall assume the identity of the original part for purposes of this warranty and this warranty shall not be extended with respect to such parts. BSH’s sole liability and responsibility hereunder is to repair manufacturer-defective Product only, using a BSH-authorized service provider during normal business hours. For safety and property damage concerns, BSH highly recommends that you do not attempt to repair the Product yourself, or use an unauthorized servicer; BSH will have no responsibility or liability for repairs or work performed by a non-authorized servicer. If you choose to have someone other than an authorized service provider work on your Product, THIS WARRANTY WILL AUTOMATICALLY BECOME NULL AND VOID. Authorized service providers are those persons or companies that have been specially trained on BSH products, and who possess, in the opinion of BSH, a superior reputation for customer service and technical ability (note that they are independent entities and are not agents, partners, affiliates or representatives of BSH). Notwithstanding the foregoing, BSH will not incur any liability, or have responsibility, for the Product if it is located in a remote area (more than 100 miles from an authorized service provider) or is reasonably inaccessible, hazardous, threatening, or in a treacherous locale, surroundings, or environment; in any such event, if you request, BSH would still pay for labor and parts and ship the parts to the nearest authorized service provider, but you would still be fully liable and responsible for any travel time or other spe- cial charges by the service company, assuming they agree to make the service call. Out of Warranty Product: BSH is under no obligation, at law or otherwise, to provide you with any concessions, including repairs, pro-rates, or Product replacement, once this warranty has expired. Warranty Exclusions: The warranty coverage described herein excludes all defects or damage that are not the direct fault of BSH, including without limitation, one or more of the following: (1) use of the Product in anything other than its normal, customary and intended manner (including without limitation, any form of commercial use, use or storage of an indoor product outdoors, use of the Product in conjunction with air or water-going ves- sels); (2) any party’s willful misconduct, negligence, misuse, abuse, accidents, neglect, improper operation, failure to maintain, improper or negligent installation, tampering, failure to follow operating instructions, mishandling, unauthorized service (including self-performed “fixing” or exploration of the appliance’s internal workings); (3) adjustment, alteration or modification of any kind; (4) a failure to comply with any applicable state, local, city, or county electrical, plumbing and/or building codes, regulations, or laws, including failure to install the product in strict conformity with local fire and building codes and regulations; (5) ordinary wear and tear, spills of food, liquid, grease accumulations, or other substances that accumulate on, in, or around the Product; and (6) any external, elemental and/or environmental forces and factors, including without limitation, rain, wind, sand, floods, fires, mud slides, freezing temperatures, excessive moisture or extended exposure to humidity, lightning, power surges, structural failures sur- rounding the appliance, and acts of God. In no event shall BSH have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for damage to surrounding property, including cabinetry, floors, ceilings, and other structures or objects around the Product. Also excluded from this warranty are Products on which the serial numbers have been altered, defaced, or removed; service visits to teach you how to use the Product, or visits where there is nothing wrong with the Product; correction of installation problems (you are solely responsible for any structure and setting for the Product, including all electrical, plumbing or other connecting facilities, for proper foundation/flooring, and for any alterations including without limitation cabinetry, walls, floors, shelving, etc.); and resetting of breakers or fuses. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THIS WARRANTY SETS OUT YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO PRODUCT, WHETHER THE CLAIM ARISES IN CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING STRICT LIABILITY, OR NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE. THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WAR- RANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

IN NO EVENT WILL THE MANUFACTURER BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, “BUSINESS LOSS”, AND/OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, LOSSES, OR EXPENSES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION TIME AWAY FROM WORK, HOTELS AND/OR RESTAURANT MEALS, REMODELLING EXPENSES IN EXCESS OF DIRECT DAMAGES WHICH ARE DEFINITIVELY CAUSED EXCLUSIVELY BY BSH, OR OTHERWISE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, AND SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
